Presents the story of Delta State University, in a form both narrative and pictorial, at a time when many participants in the early history of the institution were still living. This account of the major events under the administrations of each of the presidents in the more than fifty-year history of the school is amply illustrated with photos of people and events.

This is probably the most important single book on early Ohio genealogy, for it references no fewer than 72, 000 testators named in the will and estate records for all Ohio counties up to the year 1850. Since will records are the richest source of family relationships, researchers can use this index to access a potential treasure trove of information concerning their families. Each index entry gives the name of the person referenced, the natur...

The short fiction that flourished in nineteenth-century France has attracted relatively little critical attention compared with the novel. This study focuses on some key stories by major authors of contes and nouvelles from the late 1820s to the 1890s, taking as a starting-point, aspects of narrative technique as a way of exploring not just characteristic strategies of short fiction, but also the ends to which they were put: recurrent themes, ...

Tuuli Jacobsson has always struggled with her identity in her seemingly all too normal life, but when her eyes start to glow on her eighteenth birthday, she realizes just how far beyond normal she really is. With her soul calling her to her true race and her mind clinging to her humanness, Tuuli finds herself torn between two races that are equally a part of her whole. In this journey of discovery and transformation, Tuuli must accept herself ...

VI closely related to finite dimensional locally convex spaces than are normed spaces. In order to present a clear narrative I have omitted exact references to the literature for individual propositions. However, each chapter begins with a short introduction which also contains historical remarks.

There are two aspects to the theory of Boolean algebras, the algebraic and the set-theoretical. A Boolean algebra can be considered as a special kind of algebraic ring, or as a generalization of the set-theoretical notion of a field of sets. Fundamental theorems in both of these directions are due to M. H. STONE, whose papers have opened a new era in the develop­ ment of this theory. This work treats the set-theoretical aspect, with little men...

This volume collects the lectures on the foundations of physics given by eleven scientists at the University of Delaware. It is neither an anthology of disconnected items nor a smoothly running textbook but rather a progress report on a neglected yet vital area of basic physical research, namely foundations research. The investigation into the foundations of any branch of science is neither loose speculation nor popular science: it is an aspec...

Dissipative structures" is a concept which has recently been used in physics to discuss the formation of structures organized in space and/or time at the expense of the energy flowing into the system from the outside. The space-time structural organization of biological systems starting from the subcellular level up to the level of ecological systems, coherent structures in laser and of elastic stability in mechanics, instability in hydro­ pla...

In Part I of this report the pointwise derivation of scalar set functions is investigated, first along the lines of R. DE POSSEL (abstract derivation basis) and A. P. MORSE (blankets), later certain concrete situations (e. g. , the interval basis) are studied. The principal tool is a Vitali property, whose precise form depends on the derivation property studied. The "halo" (defined at the beginning of Part I, Ch. IV) properties can serve to es...

This volume is a logical sequel of Volume I, The Search for System: indeed, it concerns the ways theoretical systems are put to work and subjected to test. Yet it can be read independently by anyone familiar with some factual theories, referring back to Volume I when necessary. Special Symbols AS, B the set A is included in the set B AvB the union of the sets A and B AnB the common part of the sets A and B aEB the individual a is in (or belong...

Although the chemistry of boron is still relatively young, it is developing at a pace where even specific areas of research are difficult to compile into a monograph. Besides the boron hydrides, boron-nitrogen compounds are among the most fascinating derivatives of boron. Nitrogen compounds exist in a wide variety of molecular structures and display many interesting properties. The combination of nitrogen and boron, however, has some unusual f...

Hardy, Littlewood and P6lya's famous monograph on inequalities [17J has served as an introduction to hard analysis for many mathema­ ticians. Some of its most interesting results center around Hilbert's inequality and generalizations. This family of inequalities determines the best bound of a family of operators on /p. When such inequalities are restricted only to finitely many variables, we can then ask for the rate at which the bounds of the...

An atmospheric phenomenon is considered as 'explained' when we have succeeded in deducing it on the basis of accepted principles of physics. (H. Ertel, Methods and problems of dynamical meteorolo­ gy, p. l) Until recently, noctilucent clouds were regarded merely as a curious atmos­ pheric phenomenon, the occurrence of which aroused only limited scientific attention. However, in the last two decades the interest they have been given has markedl...

N oeh vor vierzig J ahren standen der Chemiker wie der Metallurge und Metallkundler vor unlosbaren Problemen, wenn es galt, einen Reak­ tionsmeehanismus zu klaren, wo die entscheidenden V organge sich in oder an einem festen Korper abspielen, wie z. B. bei Zundervorgangen an Metallen und Legierungen, bei Reduktionsvorgangen an Erzen, bei Ausscheidungs- und Aushartungsvorgangen in Metallegierungen und bei keramischen Reaktionen. Nicht nur fehlt...

Es gibt kaum ein Gebiet der Naturwissenschaften und der Technik, das sich ohne die mathematische Behandlung der Probleme weiterentwickeln lieJ3e. Selbst fiir technische Yerfahren, deren wesentliches Kennzeichen heute noch die praktische Erfahrung ist, wird die :'.Iathematik in zunehmendem Mal3e zum unentbehrlichen Hilfsmittel. Auch in auJ3er­ technischen Bereichen wie in der Wirtschaft ist die Mathematik zur Lasung vieler Fragen unentbehrlich ...

Die Methoden der Unternehmensforschung haben kurz nach dem Aufkommen dieses Wissenschaftszweiges in die verschiedensten Bereiche der technischen Wissenschaften und der Wirtschaftswissenschaften Ein­ gang gefunden. VerhaltnismaBig spat und zogernd nur hat sich das Buch Versicherungswesen dieser Methoden bedient.
